Rotational Frequency of Spindle is the number of turns made by the spindle of the machine for cutting in one second. It is a crucial parameter in machining operations that determines the cutting speed and material removal rate.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the rotational frequency based on the length of the workpiece, machining time, and feed rate per revolution.
Details: Accurate calculation of rotational frequency is essential for optimizing machining processes, ensuring proper cutting speeds, maintaining tool life, and achieving desired surface finish quality.
Tips: Enter length of workpiece in meters, machining time in seconds, and feed in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What is the relationship between rotational frequency and cutting speed?
A: Cutting speed is directly proportional to rotational frequency and workpiece diameter (Cutting Speed = π × Diameter × Rotational Frequency).
Q2: How does feed rate affect rotational frequency?
A: Higher feed rates typically require lower rotational frequencies to maintain the same machining time, and vice versa.
Q3: What are typical rotational frequency values in machining?
A: Rotational frequencies vary widely depending on the material being machined, tool type, and machine capabilities, ranging from a few Hz to several thousand Hz.
Q4: How does workpiece length affect rotational frequency?
A: Longer workpieces generally require higher rotational frequencies to maintain the same machining time with a given feed rate.
Q5: Can this formula be used for different machining operations?
A: Yes, this formula is applicable to various turning and milling operations where rotational spindle movement is involved.
